Posting something critical of the president and posting something that is plain fucking stupid are two different things.

Flights are grounded due to ash, noone is flying, many leaders don't show up and you are critisizing the president because he didn't make it?

What the fuck did you want him to do?

There was a consolation book at the Polish Embassy in Washington DC which was completely unaffected by volcanic ash. The President could have stopped by, maybe on the way to that game of golf, instead of sending a stand in.

That's a real comprehensive, fact based response and a logical defense of the administrations foreign policy practices.

Listen...Israel has a lot more than this on their plate and will get over it. If you were to substantiate any claims the right has that there is any permenent damage to our relationship with Israel, you might have a point.

The Poles aren't upset about Obama not coming...I looked through other Polish online newspapers and can't find anything about any permanent damage to Polish American relations, or anything at all about Obama's absence besides what I quote below.

Foreign leaders gather

The funeral ceremony for the presidential couple took place the next day in Cracow. After a procession along the city streets, the coffins with Lech KaczyÅ„ski and his wife Maria arrived at the Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where a funeral Mass was said by Cardinal StanisÅ‚aw Dziwisz, who for over 25 years had worked as private secretary to Pope John Paul II. During the service, the cardinal thanked the Russian people for their sympathy and help after the disaster. Among those present was Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who flew in for the funeral despite air traffic problems in Europe. Many international leaders had canceled their plans to attend, citing the air travel disruption. These included Barack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel, Silvio Berlusconi, Jose Manuel Barroso and Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

All you did was google up some righty hack who is famous for combining the word idiot and Obama in every article he writes about him. You shouldn't mistake a disacknowlegment or a lack of reply to your biased evidence for capitulation.
